Staff members under the umbrella of the Community Education Network at the L.S. Eddy Memorial Complex in Stephenville were showing their “nice” colour on Wednesday for Pink Shirt Day, an international movement raising awareness of bullying, its effects and how it can be prevented.

The theme for this year is “Nice Needs No Filter” as highlighted on the shirts, aimed at combatting Cyber Bullying and promoted by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.
